Coleraine boss John Gregg has hailed the SuperCupNI as a "World Cup for young footballers".
Gregg's Under 13 Bannsiders kept their tournament hopes alive with a spirited 1-0 win over Bertie Peacock Youths on Tuesday.
Tommy Rogers' second half goal means all four teams in Coleraine's group are on three points going into today's final round robin games.
"It is still the go-to tournament that people talk about all over the world," Gregg said.
"As far as those kids are concerned, they are playing in the World Cup. And that's what you want."
Reflecting on Tuesday's win, Gregg added: "I thought it was a good game of football. Two Coleraine teams going at it, but to see the players linking arms together at the end, that's what it's all about.
"With the result between Glentoran and GPS earlier today, it blows the group wide open and it's everything to play for now."
Glentoran bounced back from Monday's defeat to Berties with a superb 3-1 win over Global Premier Soccer.
Jude Johnson scored twice for the Glens with Calum Hamilton also on target.
In Group D, holders Greenisland fought out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Ballymena United in Ahoghill.
Joel O'Rourke scored twice while Theo McToal got the third for Greenisland.

Jack Hastings scored twice for the Co Antrim boys, with Aodhan Doherty and Kristian McVeigh also on target. Jesse Turner and Matty Hughes replied for the Lurgan Blues.
